TIFFANY & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Tiffany & Co. (the Company) and its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. Controlling interest is determined by majority ownership interest and the absence of substantive third-party participating rights
or, in the case of variable interest entities (VIEs), if the Company has the power to significantly direct the activities of a VIE, as well as the obligation to absorb significant losses of or the right to receive significant benefits from the VIE.
Intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (which represent normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly
state the Companys financial position as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data for January 31, 2012 is derived
from the audited financial statements, which are included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in connection with these financial statements. As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, these
financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The
Companys business is seasonal in nature, with the fourth quarter typically representing at least one-third of annual net sales and approximately one-half of annual net earnings. Therefore, the results of its operations for the three months
ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire fiscal year.

2.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which allows an entity the option to present components of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two
separate but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The new guidance does not change the items that must be
reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The Company adopted the new guidance effective February 1, 2012 and it did not have an impact on the Companys
financial position or earnings.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which allows an entity to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it
is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step
goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company adopted the new guidance effective February 1, 2012 and it did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or earnings.

3.

RECEIVABLES AND FINANCE CHARGES

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses associated with the
accounts receivable recorded on the balance sheet. The allowance is determined based on a combination of factors including, but not limited to, the length of time that the receivables are past due, the Companys knowledge of the customer,
economic and market conditions and historical write-off experiences.

For the receivables associated with
Tiffany & Co. credit cards (Credit Card Receivables), the Company uses various indicators to determine whether to extend credit to customers and the amount of credit. Such indicators include reviewing prior experience with the
customer, including sales and collection history, and using applicants credit reports and scores provided by credit rating agencies. Credit Card Receivables require minimum balance payments. The Company classifies a Credit Card account as
overdue if a minimum balance

8

payment has not been received within the allotted timeframe (generally 30 days), after which internal collection efforts commence. For each account receivable recorded on the balance sheet, once
all internal collection efforts have been exhausted and management has reviewed the account, the account balance is written off and may be sent for external collection or legal action. At April 30, 2012 and 2011, the carrying amount of the
Credit Card Receivables (recorded in accounts receivable, net in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet) was $53,594,000 and $52,446,000, of which 97% was considered current in those same periods. The allowance for doubtful accounts
for estimated losses associated with the Credit Card Receivables (approximately $2,000,000 at both April 30, 2012 and 2011) was determined based on the factors discussed above, and did not change significantly from January 31, 2012.
Finance charges on Credit Card accounts are not significant.

The Company may, from time to time, extend loans
to diamond mining and exploration companies in order to obtain rights to purchase the mines output. Management evaluates these and any other loans that may arise for potential impairment by reviewing the parties financial statements and
projections and other economic factors on a periodic basis. The carrying amount of loans receivable outstanding including accrued interest (primarily included within other assets, net on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet) was
$59,576,000 and $6,843,000 as of April 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company has not recorded any material impairment charges on such loans as of April 30, 2012 and 2011.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was 34.5% versus 35.6% in
the prior year.

During the three months ended April 30, 2012, the change in the gross amount of
unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties was not significant.

The Company is subject to
taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As a matter of course, various taxing authorities regularly audit the Company. The Companys tax filings are currently being examined by a number of tax authorities in various
jurisdictions. Ongoing audits where subsidiaries have a material presence include New York state (tax years 2004-2010), New Jersey (tax years 2006-2009) and the Internal Revenue Service (tax years 2006-2009). Tax years from 2004-present are open to
examination in U.S. Federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company believes that its tax positions comply with applicable tax laws and that it has adequately provided for these matters. However, the audits may result in
proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution may result in the Company owing additional taxes. Management anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately
$20,000,000 in the next 12 months, a portion of which may affect the effective tax rate; however, management does not currently anticipate a significant effect on net earnings. Future developments may result in a change in this assessment.

6.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed as net earnings divided by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and unvested restricted stock units.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators for the basic and diluted EPS computations:

and restricted stock units excluded from the computations of earnings per diluted share due to their antidilutive effect.

HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

Background Information

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, forward contracts, put option contracts and net-zero-cost collar arrangements (combination of call and put option
contracts) to mitigate its exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign currency and precious metal prices. Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values, as either assets or liabilities, with an
offset to current or comprehensive earnings, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of an effective hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. If a derivative instrument meets certain hedge accounting
criteria, the derivative instrument is designated as one of the following on the date the derivative is entered into:



Fair Value Hedge  A hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment.
For fair value hedge transactions, both the effective and ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair value of the item being hedged are recorded in current earnings.



Cash Flow Hedge  A hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. For
cash flow hedge transactions, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivatives are reported as other comprehensive income (OCI) and are recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects current earnings. Amounts excluded from the effectiveness calculation and any ineffective portions of the change in fair value of the derivative are recognized in current earnings.

The Company formally documents the nature of and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items for a
derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period. The Company also documents its risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions and method of assessing hedge effectiveness.
Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur. If it were
deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument would be recognized in current earnings. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a
specified level of effectiveness between the hedge instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Types of Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps
 In 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to convert its fixed rate 2002 Series D and 2008 Series A obligations to floating rate obligations. Since the fair value of the Companys

10

fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to interest rate changes, the interest rate swaps serve as a hedge to changes in the fair value of these debt instruments. The Company hedges its exposure
to changes in interest rates over the remaining maturities of the debt agreements being hedged. The Company accounts for the interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. During 2011, the Company terminated the interest rate swap used to convert the
2008 Series A fixed obligation to a floating rate obligation. As of April 30, 2012, the notional amount of interest rate swap agreements outstanding was $60,000,000.

In the three months ended April 30, 2012, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the
risk of interest rate volatility to the anticipated incurrence of additional debt in 2012. The Company accounts for the forward-starting interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. In the event the debt is not incurred and the forward-starting interest
rate swaps are terminated, any gain or loss from the termination would be recorded in net earnings immediately.

Foreign Exchange Forward and Put Option Contracts  The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts or
put option contracts to offset the foreign currency exchange risks associated with foreign currency-denominated liabilities, intercompany transactions and forecasted purchases of merchandise between entities with differing functional currencies. For
put option contracts, if the market exchange rate at the time of the put option contracts expiration is stronger than the contracted exchange rate, the Company allows the put option contract to expire, limiting its loss to the cost of the put
option contract. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on the total changes in the put option contracts cash flows. These foreign exchange forward contracts and put option contracts are designated and accounted for as either cash flow
hedges or economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments.

In 2010, the Company de-designated
all of its outstanding put option contracts (none of which were outstanding at April 30, 2012) and entered into offsetting call option contracts. These put and call option contracts were accounted for as undesignated hedges. Any gains or losses
on these de-designated put option contracts were substantially offset by losses or gains on the call option contracts.

As of April 30, 2012, the notional amount of foreign exchange forward and put option contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges was $137,700,000 and the notional amount of foreign exchange forward
contracts accounted for as undesignated hedges was $57,107,000. The term of all outstanding foreign exchange forward and put option contracts as of April 30, 2011 ranged from less than one month to 13 months.

Precious Metal Collars & Forward Contracts  The Company periodically hedges a portion of its
forecasted purchases of precious metals for use in its internal manufacturing operations in order to minimize the effect of volatility in precious metal prices. The Company may use a combination of call and put option contracts in net-zero-cost
collar arrangements (precious metal collars) or forward contracts. For precious metal collars, if the price of the precious metal at the time of the expiration of the precious metal collar is within the call and put price, the precious
metal collar expires at no cost to the Company. The Company accounts for its precious metal collars and forward contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on the total changes in the precious metal collars and
forward contracts cash flows. The maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows for all forecasted transactions is 12 months. As of April 30, 2012, there were approximately 23,200
ounces of platinum and 592,900 ounces of silver precious metal derivative instruments outstanding.

There was no material ineffectiveness related to the
Companys hedging instruments for the periods ended April 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company expects approximately $5,145,000 of net pre-tax derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income at April 30, 2012 will be
reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. This amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and precious metal prices.

For information regarding the location and amount of the derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, refer to Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk

A number of major international financial institutions are counterparties to the Companys derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instrument agreements only
with counterparties meeting certain credit standards (a credit rating of A/A2 or better at the time of the agreement) and limits the amount of agreements or contracts it enters into with any one party. The Company may be exposed to credit losses in
the event of non-performance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties.

8.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. U.S. GAAP prescribes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 inputs
are considered to carry the most weight within the fair value hierarchy due to the low levels of judgment required in determining fair values.

Level 3  Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entitys own assumptions. Level 3 inputs are considered to carry the least weight within the fair value hierarchy due
to substantial levels of judgment required in determining fair values.

The Company uses the market approach
to measure fair value for its mutual funds, time deposits and derivative instruments. The Companys interest rate swaps are primarily valued using the 3-month LIBOR rate. The Companys put and call option contracts, as well as its foreign
exchange forward contracts, are primarily valued using the appropriate foreign exchange spot rates. The Companys precious metal collars and forward contracts are primarily valued using the relevant precious metal spot rate. For further
information on the Companys hedging instruments and program, see Note 7. Hedging Instruments.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates
carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities and would be measured using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of debt with variable interest rates approximates carrying value and is measured using Level 2 inputs. The
fair value of debt with fixed interest rates was determined using the quoted market prices of debt instruments with similar terms and maturities, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The total carrying value of short-term borrowings and long-term
debt was $834,369,000 and $686,887,000 and the corresponding fair value was approximately $980,000,000 and $750,000,000 at April 30, 2012 and 2011.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases. In April 2010, Tiffany and Company (Tiffany), the Companys principal
operating subsidiary, committed to a plan to relocate its New York headquarters staff to a single location in New York City from three separate locations leased in midtown Manhattan. The move occurred in June 2011. Tiffany intends to sublease its
existing properties (some of which has occurred) through the end of their lease terms which run through 2015, but expects to recover only a portion of its rent obligations due to current market conditions.

The Company recorded accrued exit charges of $30,884,000 during the second quarter of 2011 within other long-term
liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with the relocation. The following is a reconciliation of the accrued exit charges:

Company and Tiffany (NJ) Inc. (the Registrant and such subsidiaries, together, the Tiffany Parties) seeking damages for alleged contractual breach of agreements entered into by and among the Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties that
came into effect in December 2007 (the License and Distribution Agreements). The License and Distribution Agreements pertain to the development and commercialization of a watch business and, among other things, contained various
licensing and governance provisions and approval requirements

15

relating to business, marketing and branding plans and provisions allocating profits relating to sales of the watch business between the Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties.

The Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties have agreed that all claims and counterclaims between and among them under the
License and Distribution Agreements will be determined through a confidential arbitration (the Arbitration). The Arbitration is pending before a three-member arbitral panel convened pursuant to the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands
Arbitration Institute in the Netherlands.

On September 12, 2011, the Swatch Parties publicly issued a
Notice of Termination purporting to terminate the License and Distribution Agreements due to alleged material breach by the Tiffany Parties.

On December 23, 2011, the Swatch Parties filed a Statement of Claim in the Arbitration providing additional detail with regard to the allegations by the Swatch Parties and setting forth their damage
claims. In general terms, the Swatch Parties allege that the Tiffany Parties have breached the License and Development Agreements by obstructing and delaying development of Watch Companys business. The Swatch Parties seek damages based on
alternate theories ranging from CHF 73,000,000 (or approximately $81,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (based on its alleged wasted investment) to CHF 3,800,000,000 (or approximately $4,200,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (calculated based on alleged
future lost profits of the Swatch Parties and their affiliates).

The Registrant believes the claim is without
merit and intends to defend vigorously the Arbitration and (together with the remaining Tiffany Parties) has filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on March 9, 2012. As detailed in the filing, the Tiffany Parties dispute both the merits
of the Swatch Parties claims and the calculation of the alleged damages. The Tiffany Parties have also asserted counterclaims for damages attributable to breach by the Swatch Parties and for termination due to such breach. In general terms,
the Tiffany Parties allege that the Swatch Parties have failed to provide appropriate management, distribution, marketing and other resources for TIFFANY & CO. brand watches and to honor their contractual obligations to the Tiffany Parties
regarding brand management. The Tiffany Parties counterclaims seek damages based on alternate theories ranging from CHF 120,000,000 (or approximately $132,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (based on its wasted investment) to approximately CHF
540,000,000 (or approximately $596,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (calculated based on future lost profits of the Tiffany Parties).

The arbitration hearing is currently expected in October 2012.

Management has not included any accrual in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the Arbitration as
a result of its assessment that an award of damages to the Swatch Parties in the Arbitration is not probable. If the Swatch Parties claims were accepted on their merits, the damages award cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but could
have a material adverse effect on the Registrants consolidated financial statements or liquidity.

If,
as requested by both parties, the Arbitration tribunal determines that the License and Distribution Agreements were properly terminated by one or other party, the Tiffany Parties will need to find a new manufacturer for TIFFANY & CO. brand
watches and the Swatch Parties will no longer be responsible for distributing such watches to third-party distributors. Royalties payable to the Tiffany Parties by Watch Company under the License and Distribution Agreements have not been significant
in any year. Watches manufactured by Watch Company and sold in TIFFANY & CO. stores constituted 1% of net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

PART I.

Financial Information

Item 2.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Tiffany & Co. (the Company) is a holding company that operates through its subsidiary companies. The Companys
principal subsidiary, Tiffany and Company (Tiffany), is a jeweler and specialty retailer whose principal merchandise offering is jewelry. The Company also sells timepieces, sterling silverware, china, crystal, stationery, fragrances and
accessories. Through Tiffany and Company and other subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in product design, manufacturing and retailing activities.

The Companys reportable segments are as follows:



Americas includes sales in TIFFANY & CO. stores in the United States, Canada and Latin America, as well as sales of TIFFANY & CO.
products in certain markets through business-to-business, Internet, catalog and wholesale operations;



Asia-Pacific includes sales in TIFFANY & CO. stores, as well as sales of TIFFANY & CO. products in certain markets through
Internet and wholesale operations;



Japan includes sales in TIFFANY & CO. stores, as well as sales of TIFFANY & CO. products through business-to-business, Internet
and wholesale operations;



Europe includes sales in TIFFANY & CO. stores, as well as sales of TIFFANY & CO. products in certain markets through Internet and
wholesale operations; and



Other consists of all non-reportable segments. Other consists primarily of wholesale sales of TIFFANY & CO. merchandise to independent
distributors for resale in certain emerging markets (primarily in the Middle East and Russia) and wholesale sales of diamonds obtained through bulk purchases that were subsequently deemed not suitable for the Companys needs. In addition, Other
includes earnings received from third-party licensing agreements.

All references to years relate to fiscal
years ended or ending on January 31 of the following calendar year.

HIGHLIGHTS



Worldwide net sales increased 8% to $819,170,000 in the three months (first quarter) ended April 30, 2012. Sales in all reportable
segments increased in the first quarter.

The Company opened three stores in the Americas and one store in Asia-Pacific during the first quarter.



Operating margin decreased 1.4 percentage points primarily due to a decline in gross margin. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded
nonrecurring charges (primarily within selling, general and administrative expenses) of $8,221,000 associated with Tiffanys relocation of its New York headquarters staff to a single location. Excluding those charges, operating margin decreased
2.4 percentage points in 2012.

The Companys reported sales reflect either
a translation-related benefit from strengthening foreign currencies or a detriment from a strengthening U.S. dollar.

The
Company reports information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Internally, management monitors its sales performance on a non-GAAP basis that eliminates the positive or negative effects that result
from translating sales made outside the U.S. into U.S. dollars (constant-exchange-rate basis). Management believes this constant-exchange-rate basis provides a more representative assessment of sales performance and provides better
comparability between reporting periods.

The Companys management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should,
consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide
investors with an additional tool to evaluate the Companys operating results. The table below reconciles sales percentage increases (decreases) from the GAAP to the non-GAAP basis versus the previous year.

Comparable Store Sales

Reference will be made to comparable store sales below. Comparable store sales include only sales transacted in Company-operated stores.
A stores sales are included in comparable store sales when the store has been open for more than 12 months. In markets other than Japan, sales for relocated stores are included in comparable store sales if the relocation occurs within the same
geographical market. In Japan, sales for a new store are not included if the store was relocated from one department store to another or from a department store to a free-standing location. In all markets, the results of a store in which the square
footage has been expanded or reduced remain in the comparable store base.

The Company categorizes its jewelry sales into four categories: statement, fine and solitaire jewelry
(which represented 16% of total reportable segment sales in fiscal 2011), engagement jewelry and wedding bands (29%), silver and gold jewelry (30%) and designer jewelry (15%).

Americas. Total sales in the Americas increased $11,022,000, or 3%, due to an increase in the average price per unit sold partly
offset by a decrease in the number of units sold. There was an increase in sales in the silver and gold jewelry, engagement jewelry and wedding bands, and designer jewelry product categories. Comparable store sales decreased $1,884,000, or 1%,
consisting of a decrease in New York Flagship store sales of 4% while comparable branch store sales were equal to the prior year. Non-comparable stores grew $11,950,000. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, sales in the Americas increased 3% and
comparable store sales were equal to the prior year. Combined Internet and catalog sales in the Americas increased $408,000, or 1%, due to an increase in the average price per order.

Asia-Pacific. Total sales in Asia-Pacific increased $27,823,000, or 17%, primarily due to an increase in the number of units sold,
as well as some increase in the average price per unit sold. There was sales and unit growth in all jewelry product categories. Comparable store sales increased $17,487,000, or 11%, and non-comparable store sales grew $6,195,000. On a
constant-exchange-rate basis, Asia-Pacific sales increased 16% and comparable store sales increased 10% due to sales growth in most countries.

Japan. Total sales in Japan increased $18,431,000, or 15%, primarily due to an increase in the average price per unit sold, as well as some increase in the number of units sold. There was sales
growth in all jewelry product categories. Comparable store sales increased $16,469,000, or 15%. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales increased 13% and comparable store sales increased 12%. Sales growth in Japan was affected by
earthquake-related events in the first quarter of 2011.

Europe. Total sales in Europe increased $2,281,000, or 3%, due
to an increase in the average price per unit sold partly offset by a decrease in the number of units sold. There was an increase in sales in the designer jewelry and silver and gold jewelry product categories. Comparable store sales decreased
$3,101,000, or 4%, and non-comparable store sales grew $4,550,000. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, sales increased 7% and comparable store sales were equal to the prior year reflecting similar sales performance in the UK and overall continental
Europe.

Store Data. Management currently expects to add 24 Company-operated TIFFANY & CO. stores in 2012,
increasing the store base by 10%, including nine stores in the Americas, eight stores in Asia-Pacific, two stores in Europe and five stores in emerging markets which is included as part of the Other reporting segment. The following table

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales

58.3%

Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) decreased by 1.0 percentage point primarily due
to higher product acquisition costs.

Management periodically reviews and adjusts its retail prices when appropriate to
address product cost increases, specific market conditions and longer-term changes in foreign currencies/U.S. dollar relationships. Among the market conditions that the Company addresses are consumer demand for the product category involved, which
may be influenced by consumer confidence, and competitive pricing conditions. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate foreign exchange and precious metal price exposures (see Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements  Note 7. Hedging Instruments). In recent years the Company has increased retail prices to address higher product costs and its strategy is to continue that approach, when appropriate, in the future.

SG&A expenses increased $26,306,000, or 9%, in the first quarter. The Company had recorded
nonrecurring charges of $8,008,000 in the first quarter of 2011 associated with Tiffanys relocation of its New York headquarters staff into a single location. Excluding these charges, SG&A expenses increased $34,314,000, or 11%, primarily
due to increased labor and benefit costs of $15,227,000, increased depreciation and store occupancy expenses of $10,657,000 related to new and existing stores, and increased marketing expenses of $9,155,000. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased 0.4 percentage point in the first quarter. Excluding the nonrecurring charges noted above, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 1.4 percentage points as sales growth was insufficient to offset increased costs.

* Percentages represent earnings from operations as a percentage of each segments net sales.

Earnings from operations decreased 1% in the first quarter. On a segment basis, the ratio of earnings from operations (before
the effect of unallocated corporate expenses and other operating expense) to each segments net sales in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 was as follows:



Americas  the ratio decreased 5.4 percentage points primarily resulting from increased operating expenses due to the opening of new stores and
the timing of marketing expenses as well as a decline in gross margin;



Asia-Pacific  the ratio decreased 2.9 percentage points primarily due to a decline in gross margin;



Japan  the ratio increased 4.3 percentage points primarily due to the leveraging of operating expenses as well as an increase in gross margin;

Other  the operating loss is primarily attributable to increased spending for the development of the emerging markets region.

Unallocated corporate expenses include certain costs related to administrative support functions which the
Company does not allocate to its segments. Such unallocated costs include those for centralized information technology, finance, legal and human resources departments. Unallocated corporate expenses decreased versus the comparable period in the
prior year and decreased as a percentage of net sales.

Other operating expense of $8,221,000 in the first quarter of 2011
represents accelerated depreciation, incremental rent expense and payments to terminate leases associated with Tiffanys relocation of its New York headquarters staff to a single location.

Interest and Other Expenses, net

Interest and other expenses, net increased $407,000 in the first quarter of 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 was 34.5% versus 35.6% in the prior year.

2012 Outlook

Managements current outlook for full year 2012
is based on the following assumptions, which may or may not prove valid, and should be read in conjunction with risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2012 as well as in  Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 30:



A worldwide net sales increase of approximately 7%  8% for the full year, with the strongest growth occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. This
compares to a previous expectation of 10% sales growth.

23



The opening of 24 Company-operated stores (nine in the Americas, eight in Asia-Pacific, two in Europe and commencing operation of five stores in
emerging markets). Four stores were opened in the first quarter.



Operating margin modestly below the prior year (when excluding nonrecurring items recorded in 2011), with an improved ratio of SG&A expenses to
net sales slightly more than offset by a decline in gross margin.



Interest and other expenses, net of approximately $55,000,000. This expectation includes the expected cost of additional debt incurrence for working
capital, repayment of maturing debt and general corporate purposes.



An effective income tax rate of approximately 34%  35%.



Net earnings per diluted share of $3.70  $3.80, with all of the year-over-year growth expected to occur in the fourth quarter. This compares
to the previous expectation of $3.95  $4.05 per diluted share; approximately $0.20 of the decrease is tied to a reduction in operating expectations and $0.05 of the reduction is related to the additional debt incurrence.

The Companys liquidity needs
have been, and are expected to remain, primarily a function of its ongoing, seasonal and expansion-related working capital requirements and capital expenditures needs. Over the long term, the Company manages its cash and capital structure to
maintain a strong financial position that provides flexibility to pursue strategic initiatives. Management regularly assesses its working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, debt service, dividend payouts, share repurchases and future
investments and intends to incur additional debt in 2012. Management believes that cash on hand, internally-generated cash flows, the funds available under its revolving credit facilities and the ability to access the debt and capital markets are
sufficient to support the Companys liquidity and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

The Company had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $120,589,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared with an outflow of $44,245,000 in the same period in 2011. The variance between 2012 and
2011 is primarily due to an increase in inventories. Additionally, the first quarter of 2012 includes the Companys contribution of $35,000,000 to its pension plan versus a contribution of $25,000,000 in the comparable period in 2011, both of
which are reflected in Other, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Working Capital. Working
capital (current assets less current liabilities) and the corresponding current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) were $2,250,751,000 and 4.3 at April 30, 2012, compared with $2,262,998,000 and 4.6 at January 31, 2012
and $2,294,674,000 and 6.8 at April 30, 2011.

24

Accounts receivable, less allowances at April 30, 2012 were 1% lower than
January 31, 2012 due to the seasonality of the Companys business. Accounts receivable, less allowances at April 30, 2012 were 3% higher than April 30, 2011, due to sales growth.

Inventories, net at April 30, 2012 were 6% higher than January 31, 2012 and were 27% higher than April 30, 2011. Finished
goods inventories rose 5% and 16% from January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011 and combined raw material and work-in-process inventories rose 7% and 44% in those same periods. The overall increase resulted from store openings, expanded product
assortments, and higher product and raw material acquisition costs, as well as some effect from the lower-than-expected sales growth in April 2012. In addition, the specific increase in raw material and work-in-process inventories reflected the
further vertical integration of the Companys diamond supply chain and internal manufacturing.

Investing Activities

The Company had a net cash outflow from investing activities of $58,005,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared with
an outflow of $16,410,000 in the first quarter of 2011. The increased outflow in the current year is primarily due to a decrease in proceeds received from the sale of marketable securities and short-term investments, which was partly offset by lower
capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

The Company had a net cash inflow from financing activities of $63,457,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared with an outflow of $22,716,000 in the first quarter of 2011. Year-over-year changes in cash
flows from financing activities are largely driven by borrowings and share repurchase activities.

Recent Borrowings.
The Company had net repayments of or net proceeds from short-term and long-term borrowings as follows:

There was $242,768,000 outstanding and $272,684,000 available under all revolving credit facilities at
April 30, 2012. The weighted average interest rate for the outstanding amount at April 30, 2012 was 1.53%.

The
ratio of total debt (short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt) to stockholders equity was 35% at April 30, 2012, 30% at January 31, 2011 and 30% at April 30, 2011.

At April 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

In January 2011, the Companys Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program
(2011 Program) and terminated the previously existing program. The 2011 Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $400,000,000 of its Common Stock through open market or private transactions. The 2011 Program expires on
January 31, 2013. The timing of repurchases and the actual number of shares to be repurchased depend on a variety of discretionary factors such as stock price, cash-flow forecasts and other market conditions. At least annually, the
Companys Board of Directors reviews its policies with respect to dividends and share repurchases with a view to

25

actual and projected earnings, cash flows and capital requirements. At April 30, 2012, there remained $171,416,000 of authorization for future repurchases under the 2011 Program.

Contractual Obligations

Management anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $20,000,000 in the next 12 months, a portion of which may
affect the effective tax rate; however, management does not currently anticipate a significant effect on net earnings. Future developments may result in a change in this assessment.

The Companys contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments at April 30, 2012 and the effects such obligations and
commitments are expected to have on the Companys liquidity and cash flows in future periods have not changed significantly since January 31, 2012.

Seasonality

As a jeweler and specialty retailer, the Companys
business is seasonal in nature, with the fourth quarter typically representing at least one-third of annual net sales and approximately one-half of annual net earnings. Management expects such seasonality to continue.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 concerning the Companys goals, plans and projections with respect to store openings, sales, retail prices, gross margin, products, growth opportunities, expenses, effective tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per
share, inventories, capital expenditures, cash flow and liquidity. In addition, management makes other forward-looking statements from time to time concerning objectives and expectations. One can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact
that they use words such as believes, intends, plans, and expects and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on managements current plan and involve inherent risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from the current plan. The Company has included important factors in the cautionary statements included in its 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this quarterly
report, particularly under Item 1A. Risk Factors, that the Company believes could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Although the Company believes it has been prudent in its plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can or will be achieved, and readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements which speak only as of the date this quarterly report was first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking
information included in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in expectations or otherwise.

Financial Information

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, precious metal prices and interest rates, which could affect its consolidated financial position, earnings and
cash flows. The Company manages its exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments
as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes, and does not maintain such instruments that may expose the Company to significant market risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts or put
option contracts to offset the foreign currency exchange risks associated with foreign currency-denominated liabilities, intercompany transactions and forecasted purchases of merchandise between entities with differing functional currencies. The
fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and put option contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates. Gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts substantially offset losses or gains on the liabilities and
transactions being hedged. For put option contracts, if the market exchange rate at the time of the put option contracts expiration is stronger than the contracted exchange rate, the Company allows the put option contract to expire, limiting
its loss to the cost of the put option contract. The term of all outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts and put option contracts as of April 30, 2012 ranged from less than one month to 13 months.

Precious Metal Price Risk

The Company periodically hedges a portion of its forecasted purchases of precious metals for use in its internal manufacturing operations in order to minimize the effect of volatility in precious metals
prices. The Company may use either a combination of call and put option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements (precious metal collars) or forward contracts. For precious metal collars, if the price of the precious metal at the
time of the expiration of the precious metal collar is within the call and put price, the precious metal collar expires at no cost to the Company. The maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash
flows for all forecasted transactions is 12 months.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert certain fixed rate debt obligations to floating rate obligations. Additionally, since the
fair value of the Companys fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to interest rate changes, the interest rate swaps serve as hedges to changes in the fair value of these debt instruments. The Company hedges its exposure to changes in interest
rates over the remaining maturities of the debt agreements being hedged. In 2012, the Company also entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of interest rate volatility with regard to the anticipated incurrence of
additional debt in 2012.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Registrants chief executive officer
and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In the ordinary course of business, the Registrant reviews its system of internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to its systems and processes to improve controls and increase
efficiency, while ensuring that the Registrant maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems and automating manual processes.

The Registrants chief executive officer and chief financial officer have determined that there have been no changes
in the Registrants internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Registrants internal control over financial reporting.

The Registrants management, including
its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, necessarily applied their judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures. By their nature, such controls and procedures cannot provide absolute certainty, but can
provide reasonable assurance regarding managements control objectives. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures are (i) designed to provide
such reasonable assurance and (ii) are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

Legal Proceedings

On
June 24, 2011, The Swatch Group Ltd. (Swatch) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tiffany Watch Co. (Watch Company; Swatch and Watch Company, together, the Swatch Parties), initiated an arbitration proceeding
against the Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Tiffany and Company and Tiffany (NJ) Inc. (the Registrant and such subsidiaries, together, the Tiffany Parties) seeking damages for alleged contractual breach of agreements entered
into by and among the Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties that came into effect in December 2007 (the License and Distribution Agreements). The License and Distribution Agreements pertain to the development and commercialization of a
watch business and, among other things, contained various licensing and governance provisions and approval requirements relating to business, marketing and branding plans and provisions allocating profits relating to sales of the watch business
between the Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties.

The Swatch Parties and the Tiffany Parties have agreed that all claims
and counterclaims between and among them under the License and Distribution Agreements will be determined through a confidential arbitration (the Arbitration). The Arbitration is pending before a three-member arbitral panel convened
pursuant to the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute in the Netherlands.

On September 12, 2011,
the Swatch Parties publicly issued a Notice of Termination purporting to terminate the License and Distribution Agreements due to alleged material breach by the Tiffany Parties.

On December 23, 2011, the Swatch Parties filed a Statement of Claim in the Arbitration providing additional detail with regard to
the allegations by the Swatch Parties and setting forth their damage claims. In general terms, the Swatch Parties allege that the Tiffany Parties have breached the License and Development Agreements by obstructing and delaying development of Watch
Companys business. The Swatch Parties seek damages based on alternate theories ranging from CHF 73,000,000 (or approximately $81,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (based on its alleged wasted investment) to CHF 3,800,000,000 (or approximately
$4,200,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (calculated based on alleged future lost profits of the Swatch Parties and their affiliates).

The Registrant believes the claim is without merit and intends to defend vigorously the Arbitration and (together with the remaining Tiffany Parties) has filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on
March 9, 2012. As detailed in the filing, the Tiffany Parties dispute both the merits of the Swatch Parties claims and the calculation of the alleged damages. The Tiffany Parties have also asserted counterclaims for damages attributable
to breach by the Swatch Parties and for termination due to such breach. In general terms, the Tiffany Parties allege that the Swatch Parties have failed to provide appropriate management, distribution, marketing and other resources for
TIFFANY & CO. brand watches and to honor their contractual obligations to the Tiffany Parties regarding brand management. The Tiffany Parties counterclaims seek damages based on alternate theories ranging from CHF 120,000,000 (or
approximately $132,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (based on its wasted investment) to approximately CHF 540,000,000 (or approximately $596,000,000 at April 30, 2012) (calculated based on future lost profits of the Tiffany Parties).

The arbitration hearing is currently expected in October 2012.

Management has not included any accrual in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the Arbitration as a result of its assessment that an award of damages to the Swatch Parties in the
Arbitration is not probable. If the Swatch Parties claims were accepted on their merits, the damages award cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but could have a material adverse effect on the Registrants consolidated financial
statements or liquidity.

If, as requested by both parties, the Arbitration tribunal determines that the License and
Distribution Agreements were properly terminated by one or other party, the Tiffany Parties will need to find a new manufacturer for TIFFANY & CO. brand watches and the Swatch Parties will no longer be responsible for distributing such
watches to third-party distributors. Royalties payable to the Tiffany Parties by Watch Company under the License and Distribution Agreements have not been significant in any year. Watches manufactured by Watch Company and sold in TIFFANY &
CO. stores constituted 1% of net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Except as
presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012.

(i) Risk: that the Registrant will be unable to continue to offer merchandise designed by Elsa Peretti.

Elsa Peretti, age 72, licenses Tiffany and Company (Tiffany) to make, have made and sell jewelry and other
products made in conformance to her designs and bearing her trademarks. Since 1974, Tiffany has been the sole licensee for the intellectual property rights necessary to make and sell Peretti-designed products under Ms. Perettis trademarks
(the Peretti Intellectual Property). Under the written license agreement (the License Agreement) between Ms. Peretti and Tiffany, Ms. Peretti retains ownership of the Peretti Intellectual Property and exercises
approval rights with respect to important aspects of the promotion, display, manufacture and merchandising of Peretti-designed products. In addition, Tiffany is contractually required to devote a portion of its advertising budget to the promotion of
the Peretti-designed products. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the designs of Ms. Peretti accounted for 10% of the Registrants net sales. Ms. Peretti receives a royalty for Tiffanys use of the Peretti Intellectual Property.

As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on May 23, 2012, Ms. Peretti has recently expressed
interest in retiring from her relationship with Tiffany and has authorized her advisors to initiate negotiations with Tiffany regarding the possible purchase by Tiffany of the Peretti Intellectual Property. Tiffany has made a firm offer to
Ms. Peretti in an amount that is based upon the value of the Peretti Intellectual Property to Tiffany. To date, Ms. Peretti and Tiffany have not reached agreement on the price for the Peretti Intellectual Property. An acquisition of the
Peretti Intellectual Property at the offered price would represent a significant investment for the Registrant and would likely improve cash flows and operating results in subsequent years.

Ms. Perettis advisors have informed Tiffany that, if a transaction in respect of the Peretti Intellectual
Property is not completed, Ms. Peretti may consider exercising her right to terminate the License Agreement. The License Agreement may be terminated by either party by written notice. If the License Agreement is terminated by either party,
Tiffany would, for six months following the date of notice of termination, retain all rights under the License Agreement, including the right to make and have made Peretti-designed products. Following such six-month period, Tiffany would have an
additional year to sell any Peretti-designed products on hand or on order. Thereafter, Tiffany would be permitted to sell any Peretti-designed products on hand, subject to Ms. Perettis right to purchase these remaining products.

The Registrant can provide no assurance that the negotiations for the purchase of the Peretti Intellectual
Property will continue, that a purchase price will be agreed upon or that the License Agreement will remain in effect. Further, no agreement has been made for the continued sale of the designs or use of the Peretti Intellectual Property following
the death or disability of Ms. Peretti. If Tiffany ceases to have an exclusive license to use the Peretti Intellectual Property, the Registrants operating results may be adversely affected.

(ii) Risk: that the Registrant will be unable to mitigate any adverse effects on its operating results that may result from its inability
to continue to offer Peretti-designed merchandise.

Tiffany regularly reviews its product offerings and its
strategies for the promotion and merchandising of products. Tiffanys management believes that there are opportunities for the development, design and manufacturing of new products. Further, Tiffany is committed to evaluating changes in the
promotion and merchandising of existing products to enhance net sales. Should Tiffany cease to have the right to offer Peretti-designed products, Tiffanys management will evaluate and pursue changes to its product offerings and to its
merchandising and promotional strategies in an effort to mitigate any adverse effects on its operating results. Such efforts could include redeployment of advertising and display resources now devoted to Peretti-designed products. However, there can
be no assurance that the Registrant will be successful in implementing such efforts or that such efforts will have the anticipated effect on the Registrants operating results.
